The General tab appears when you select an individual configuration in the left panel's
Archive Mgmt tab. Each configuration displays an icon that identifies the type
of data that it contains:
device configuration data
(an individual .cfg config file), 
capacity planning
data, 
both device configuration and capacity planning
data. The General tab displays information about the data that was saved.
Click the graphic for more information.
General
- IP Address
- The IP address of the device whose data was saved, followed by the SNMP context, if applicable.
- Description
- When a configuration file is saved, it is automatically compared to the previously saved configuration file for the same device. This field displays a message regarding that comparison. For archive operations that are configured to archive only capacity planning data (and not configuration data), this column will display a Warning message stating that the ability to archive configuration data has been disabled for this archive.

- Use this field to add additional notes about the configuration and save them using the Save button.
Configuration Archive
This section indicates whether device configuration data was saved when the archive was performed. Device configuration data is saved as a .cfg config file, and information about that file is displayed here. You can select whether or not to save device configuration data when you create an archive using the Archive Wizard, or when you edit an archive using the Archive General Tab.
- Device Status
- The status of the device at the time the archive operation was performed: Contact or No Contact.

File Not Found/Missing indicates that Inventory Manager can no longer find the config file (it has been deleted or moved) or the archive operation did not include saving device configuration data. Check the Description field for more information.
- File Name
- The path and filename for the saved configuration. For archive operations that are configured to archive only capacity planning data (and not configuration data), this column will be blank.
